Not a good candidate for drive-by voting.

Paste the title into a google window and you get this

All else is a swirl of conflicting images and confusion, ...

Simpa got it straight out of the gate, so there we are. I think it did just fine. Thanks for all the votes and comments.

notice the man in the upper right looks down at the people in the photo below him... and in that photo the woman looks at the man, and the man looks over at the third photo, which seems nothing less than the "force" itself, the force that gives life and the force that takes it. This photo gets smarter every time I look at it.

Too deep for me. As such if I just look at it as an observer I don't get the connection. However, I think the photographs on their own are wonderful. You have captured some really nice moments here.

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
Is my destroyer.
And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.
The force that drives the water through the rocks
Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams
Turns mine to wax.
And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins
How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.

The hand that whirls the water in the pool
Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind
Hauls my shroud sail.
And I am dumb to tell the hanging man
How of my clay is made the hangman's lime.

The lips of time leech to the fountain head;
Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood
Shall calm her sores.
And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind
How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.

And I am dumb to tell the lover's tomb
How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.

uh oh - a photo that has to be analyzed in a challenge - and we all know what that means. Ok so here is my take: first, I don't understand all the words so I took it to mean that something green is connecting all three pics. Nature is the connecting force and we go from family and nature to the synthetic green shoes.

I think it says something about true artistry when you can put something out there that makes people want to give you different interpretations. Nice job!

There are the green shoes, the new green growth, the green jacket on the baby, but moreso, there's the new growth, the pregnant woman, and the baby. Whether or not any of that is intended.... well that's another story - but that's the story I see.

I like the photos and layout Raish, but I guess I'm not bright enough to get the title.

Hey Raish old boy, I don't get it but you did a good job on putting it together.

I like this one, I especially like the photo on the left, on it's own it's a beautiful photo with lovely DOF and the fresh you shoots twining around, taking over and getting support from the rusty old thing is wonderful. The guy with the green shoes makes me smile, an inspired choice for this trio and I do like the way you've got his popping through the top frame, that's just clever. The new life theme running through the three photos is very nice.

Call me dense, but I don't see the conecting force through the three shots.

I'm not getting the connection among the three images, or what the title means. The angles insets are interesting, but the jaggy edges detract quite a bit. Basically, it feels like a jumble, like three unrelated photos tossed on a desk, as opposed to a unified presentation in three frames. I do like how the guy's head pops through the top edge, though.

A lovely day in the mundane.

OK, triptych generally are supposed have to some sort of theme through each of the images, here it seems we have 3 unrelated shots just thrown together.. or maybe I amnot clever enough to `get it`. either way, only a 4 I am afraid.

I fail to see how these 3 pictures connect? (and the title doesn't help me either)
